THE INFLUENCE OF MATERIAL-TECHNICAL CONDITIONS ON SPEED MEASUREMENT OF FEMALE STUDENTS IN LOWER PRIMARY SCHOOL GRADES

Abstract

The goal of this research was to determine the influence of material-technical conditions on speed evaluation of female students in lower primery school grades, in the conditions of most frequent floors (grass, asphalt, parquet). The research was realized in primary school “Jovan Jovanovic Zmaj” in Svilajnac, republic of Serbia in the first term of 2009/2010 school year. The sample consisted of 45 female students in fourth grade of primary school. The speed of female students was evaluated by the use of two standardized movement tasks: a 30 meter running from high start and shuttle running 3x10 meters. For the evaluation of the results the following methods were used: descriptive statistics, multivariant analysis of the variance, discriminative analysis and univariant analysis of the variance. The results indicate statistically significant differences of the results of female students for both researched variables in relation to the floor. The results enable more adequate planning and content realization of physical education in lower grades of primary school.
